Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO Harry Potter: The Final Challenge (4702)

Customer Review: If You've Got Ten Bucks Handy, Drop it on This Harry Potter
Summary: 5 Stars

If you're going to buy some Harry Potter merchandise for your pups, make it the LEGO. They're going to get a lot more play value out of it than the other toys that are part of a magical onslaught just in time for Christmas.

WARNING: If you haven't read the first Harry Potter book, this review will give away a crucial plot point...don't ruin it for yourself!

This is one of the smaller sets, but it gives you some very important and very fun pieces. The set costs ten dollars, has 60 pieces, and is the only way to get Harry's Arch Enemy, Lord Voldemort. If you haven't read the books or seen the movie yet, this little set is key to not only THIS book and THIS movie, but all successive Harry Potter adventures. And it's ONLY ten bucks!

This set represents a little chunk of Hogwart's, a castle which is a school for Harry and his friends. In this room is a magical mirror, called the Mirror of Erised. It's enchanted, so that when you look in it, you see your fondest dream. For Harry, this dream is to see his parents alive and well again--he was orphaned by Lord Voldemort when he was just an infant. The mirror is also a sort of secret chamber/revolving wall (I'm not sure WHAT to call it!) That hides The Sorceror's Stone. I haven't seen these secret panels before, but I understand the Hogwart's LEGO set is full of them. I like them a lot.

The minifigs that come with the set are Harry Potter and Professor Quirrell. Harry is decked out in his Gryffindor house robes, has a magic wand, and a black cloak with white stars printed on the inside. Very spiffy. His face also varies a bit from the classic LEGO smiley face... he's got his trademark round spectacles and a tiny lightning-bolt shaped scar over his eye. His hair is also a new kind of piece that I haven't seen before, that looks just like it does in the movie.

Professor Quirrell is wearing a purple turban and his teaching robes (he's a Professor of Dark Arts at Hogwart's), and he's got a somewhat disturbed/constipated look on his face. The reason for this disturbed face is revealed when you remove the turban to find.....Lord Voldemort's serpentine visage on the BACK of Quirrell's head!!!!

So this really IS the final challenge...where Harry confronts Voldemort. Your children (and you, for that matter) will want this set to complete Harry's adventures and challenges. Besides the remarkable swinging panel I mentioned, this set also includes some nifty pieces like a castle turret, a black owl, a bat, a spider web, a spider, and some torches. It fits in very nicely with the other castle sets from Harry Potter's world, or stands alone very well.

This was the first Harry Potter LEGO set I bought, and I loved it so much that...I bought a lot more. I wouldn't recommend just ANYTHING with Harry Potter stamped on it...but these LEGO sets are must-haves.
